SPROCKETS: A Little Rain Won’t Hurt your Porsche
By David Robertson, Region President
It doesn’t seem like it has stopped raining in the
last couple of months. This has been challenging for
all types of outdoor activities including the driving
events hosted by our club. DE, Tours, and Mavs &
Mochas have continued to press on, rain or shine. I
have been impressed (if not amazed) by the turnout
for these events in the rain. This really points to the
passion our members have for driving and coming
together. As I have mentioned previously, Porsches
are meant to drive in all conditions!
For those of us who use our Porsches as daily
drivers, we have no choice but to brave the elements
and drive in varying weather conditions to get
to work or other obligations that transportation
requires. Often, if I don’t stop by the grocery store
on my way home from the office in my 911, it’s
going to be the pickles and ketchup from July 4th
for dinner. I know that I should have these things
planned out but many times when I look out the
window at 6 pm and the rain is pounding down it
dawns on me that I have a few errands I have to
run before I can get the car into my dry garage.
As I write this page it looks to be another very
rainy day. The forecast is ugly, and everything is
soaked from previous rain. I will be getting in my
911 within the hour and heading out perhaps a little
more cautiously than usual to a car show where I
know that even in the rain I am going to have a
great time with my fellow Maverick members!
MAVS OF THE MONTH:
TJ Kroele, Chris Sorrells, Mark Schnoerr
We are very lucky in our club to have so many
talented individuals with such a diverse set of
backgrounds and experience that
are always more than gracious
with their time and expertise
wherever it can add value to one
of our programs. TJ, Mark, and
Chris have teamed up and spent
countless hours over the past few
months to develop a proposal to
make sure that the DE program
remains competitive with other
groups’ DE events and relevant
for the future. Even though our
club is a non-profit organization,
2 November
we still have to think like any other business to keep
up with the shifting demographic environment
and competition from other driving programs in
the area. Many of these challenges are new and
we cannot waste any time getting in front of them.
These three individuals have combined expertise
in building successful businesses, a lifetime of
racing, DE Instruction and many, many years of
participating in, and running driving programs
both in the Maverick region and other car clubs.
Chris, Mark and TJ, we appreciate all of the
time and effort that you have put into ensuring
the continued success of the Maverick Region
DE program!

Tradition is a commitment. Without our tradition and without our core values, we would not be where we are today. We plan to uphold the standard of
technical excellence set by Ferry Porsche well into the future. Intelligent dynamic mobility has a great future ahead of it. And we have the solid technologi-
cal expertise, creative employees and unique team spirit to be involved. We have what it takes to ensure that the Porsche brand continues to fascinate –
even in another 70 years.
The first vehicle to bear the Porsche name was registered on June 8, 1948: It was the 356 “No.1” Roadster. This is the day on which the Porsche brand
was born. The Type 356 turned Ferry Porsche’s dream of a sports car into a reality. “His vision at that time embodied all of the values that still define the
brand to this day”, said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, at yesterday’s New Year Reception at the Porsche Museum. Repre-
sentatives from the state of Baden-Württemberg as well as from the city of Stuttgart and the worlds of politics, economics and society, joined Porsche to
celebrate the beginning of its anniversary year with the slogan “70 years of the Porsche sports car.

Founders Day: Maverick Region’s Anniversary Party
By Debi Kruder
It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a year since we
celebrated our 55th Anniversary at our Founders Day
event last December. I still remember perfect weather,
toys, the smell of barbeque, laughter and conversation,
and many fond memories from the evening. This year
promises to be no different.
Please mark your calendar and register today as we
celebrate Porsche’s 70th Anniversary at our Founders
Day Event on Saturday, December 1. It’s one day, three
events, and over 2800 members!
The morning will kick off with our monthly Mavs
& Mochas bright and early at Nordstrom’s North Park,
where we will also host the second annual Top Ten
People’s Choice Car Show. Nordstrom continues to be a
gracious host to our members, generously opening their
department store doors early to allow us to sneak through
for coffee and shopping. And what better time of year
than December? So, rain or shine, bring your Porsche and
your pocket book to start that Christmas shopping!
Speaking of shopping: don’t forget to load up your
Porsche too with holiday goodies for children in need, as
we will be departing Nordstrom for our second annual
Mavs Toy Parade at 10:30 am. As last year, the Maverick
PCA is partnering with the Plano Police Department in
support of Plano Christmas Cops. This was a highlight
of Founders Day last year for me,
personally driving our 356 with
windows full of stuffed pups,
board games, and baby dolls,
with Christmas tree on top to add
to the merriment! So motor your
car full of new and unwrapped
toys, baby supplies, and new
coats for all ages, but especially teens.
Once your car is unloaded and a quick nap is taken,
it’s time for the Founders Day grand finale with dinner,
drinks, and more fun than you can shake a gearshift
at! Many of your favorite things about last year will be
back, along with some wonderful additions.
First, an exciting new venue: Grapevine Porsche.
This new dealership boasts a two-story venue with
the latest design and features including a classic car
shop. For those of you in attendance at the Grapevine
Porsche grand opening in
September, I think you will
agree that this venue will not
disappoint. Many thanks for
opening their doors to us, as
well as their financial support
to subsidize some of the cost
for our members.
New this year too is our
very first online silent auction
for our charity: the Huffaker-
Hughes Hope House. Yes, you
read that right -- the items
photos, descriptions, bidding,
and payment will all take place
online! Just visit the website,
https://www.32auctions.com/MPCAHopeHouse and
start bidding now! Our Founders Day Silent Auction
is our largest financial contributor to our Mav PCA
charity. Last year, with the contributions of our
sponsors and members, our Silent Auction raised
nearly $10,000, and this year we are challenging our
Mavs to increase these contributions to achieve our
2018 Founders Day goal to support the Hope House
in the amount of $12,000. Hope exists to eliminate
domestic violence through intervention, offering
shelter, counseling, support, and education to promote
the healing of abusive relationships. Maverick Region
is proud to partner with this great cause.
Back by popular demand to our Founders Day
evening are two favorites: Pecan Lodge and Steel City
Pops! If the name Pecan Lodge makes your mouth
water, you’ll be happy to know that, in addition to their
award winning pulled pork and smoked chicken, we’ve
added their smoked brisket to the menu this year too!
Mix in 200 or so of your favorite
Porsche people, our Maverick
Photo of the Year Contest, our
James Shoffit Maverick of the
Year Award, a little live music
from a duo by the name of Fanci
(with a mixed bongo flair) and
you are sure to have a great night!
Registration is now available online at mav.pca.org and
on social media. Early registrants receive a discounted
rate so don’t hesitate. It’s sure to be one of your
December highlights in 2018!

Maverick Tech Session Series: Growler Labs Recap
By Michael Baynton
photos by Bill Orr
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power
corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton
One could wonder if historian Lord Acton’s most
famous religious quote (way back in 1887) might have
been applicable if he had been inclined to tether a few
extra horses to the front of his carriage. Hard to say.
But what can be said definitively in 2018 is that some
owners of powerful modern Porsches agree that an extra
dollop of vehicular corruption is certainly a good thing.
On Wednesday evening, September 26, a group of
60+ power-hungry owners descended on Growler Motor
Labs in Plano to learn about options for making their
Porsches perform above and beyond what the good folks
in Stuttgart deem prudent. Focusing primarily on watercooled
Porsches (especially those with easily prodded
turbo snails under the hood/boot), Growler owner and
8 November
tuning expert Chris Fleming clearly laid out the various
upgrade paths to deliver safe and reliable power gains.
Three primary solutions were discussed: AMS hardware
such as intercoolers and piping, COBB Accessport tuning
software, and high-end Akrapovic exhaust systems.
Distilling very complex engineering principles such as
air flow optimization, turbo boost generation, and heat and
pressure management into easy-to-understand language is
Chris’ forte. He did a terrific job of explaining how various
aftermarket components (either individually or as part
of a larger system) can improve the overall efficiency and
subsequent power delivery of Porsche motors. Parts laid out
on a table for examination and a customer 911 on a rack for
closer inspection were perfect visual aids for our members
to see the complex engineering solutions up close. The
ongoing questions and answers really demonstrated the deep
engagement between our members and Chris and his team!
As always, Growler had staff on hand to answer questions,
and their shop space was immaculate and welcoming. Pizza
and drinks were provided beforehand, and at the end of the
session Growler marketing manager Al Muir generously
presented every member in attendance with a “$100 Off”
certificate toward the systems that were discussed that
evening. What a fabulous bonus to end the evening!
Many thanks again to Chris and Al for being such
generous hosts, and a special shout-out to the Mav
volunteers (Bill, Jimmy, Mike, Derrick) who arrived early
to help with parking and set-up. We couldn’t do this
without you!
Your mind’s been racing.
Catch up.
Decades of dreaming, fulfilled instantaneously. The iconic 911 Carrera. Legendary
handling, immediate power, and decades of motorsport heritage. It is the full
measure of a sports car. Found only in a Porsche. Porsche. There is no substitute.

Rennsport Reunion VI: As told by our members
By George Luxbacher and Don Sebert, Region Rally Co-Chairs
pphotos provided by Authors
Rennsport Reunion. This event is
Bob Aines
known by most Porsche enthusiasts, and
based on the 80,000-plus that showed up at Laguna
Seca at the end of September, growing in popularity.
This was my fourth and best yet.
A group of four cars departed DFW Monday
morning and stopped at former Maverick Steve Fallon’s
home in Albuquerque for refreshments before heading
to our hotel and dinner. Some of our party headed to
the casino after dinner to cover the costs. We had four
more cars join us to make a convoy of eight.
Our next overnight was in Bakersfield, where we
had our one mechanical issue: a broken shift rod. The
Porsche community came through with a recommended
shop which had the repair completed and Mark Hanna
back in the road by 9:30.
We rolled into Laguna Seca around 11:00 Wednesday.
This was move-in day, and a great time to visit and
catch up with old friends before the crowds and event
schedule were to keep people busy. The best description
of this event is total Porsche overload. Where else can
you see eight 959s parked together, a lineup of 917s,
908s, and a couple of 906s. A 918 rolling through the
paddock doesn’t even get a notice.
This being our
first Rennsport,
we had an idea of what to expect
from fellow returning Mavs, but to
recap with one of Bill’s infamous
expressions: WHOA!
There is truly something for
everyone; you might call it a car
And the cars are just the icing: the drivers who drove
them in anger back in the day, reliving their experiences
on stage, is a highlight. I was asked what was most
memorable from the weekend and it had to be the La
Mans start for the tractor race.
The drive home was uneventful, which is the best
kind. What a great trip, event, and group of Porsche
friends to share it with. If you have never been, you
should plan on making it to the next!
Above: 919 warming up in the paddock, you really could get that close.

Debi Kruder
vintage cars in the paddock and the
next moment you would see that
same car on the track with several
others with speeds of 100-plus
mph passing one another. Whether
it was the racers in full gear, the
engine sounds, the history, or the
number of rare Porsches, you were
facing turn 4, or the straight from
behind pit row. My most favorite
memory will always be the look on
Kruder’s face (like a kid in a candy
shop!) especially when he met
Derek Bell and David Hobbs. Their
autographs are his take-home prize
in the bill of his official Rennsport
show that happens to have a race or
a race that has a car show. What we
found amazing was that you would
be admiring one of hundreds of
12 November
quite simply kept in awe.
The track itself is a marvel with
so many vantage points, from the
famous Corkscrew, the grandstands
cap. Suffice it to say Porsche’s 70th
Anniversary celebrated at
Rennsport will always be a
memorable
Rennsport
Michael McGrath
was a bucket
list opportunity for me. With family
commitments I had a 20-year gap in
my Porsche ownership history, and
felt I had missed experiencing a lot
of great events and people during
that time. I made this trip into a 10-
day journey with my Porsche 981.
We visited seven National Parks and
Monuments on this trip and traveled
some amazing roads.
Arriving at Laguna Seca I was
immediately impressed with the
organization of the event and the
sheer quantity of amazing Porsche
cars and history. Over the next
several days I was able to get up
close and personal with P-cars that
previously I had only read about in
books or had seen in videos online.
The history ranged from the first
production 356 roaster (which was
later driven on the track by Mr.
Porsche and his wife) to the latest
reveals of the Porsche Speedster,
935, and PCA GT3 in that beautiful
blue color! The Chopard Heritage
Display featured an impressive
display of Porsche racing history
ranging from the rare Model 804
Formula One car to the variations
of the early 718 giant killers to later
iconic models like the Martini-clad
935, 936, and many more.
The best aspect of this event was
the chance to chat with car owners
and fellow Porsche fans while looking
over the displays and racing cars as
they were prepped for their hot laps.
The other opportunity was to meet
some racing heroes in person, or at
least be up close to them, as part
of the many interviews that were
conducted each day.
The most special moments for me
were casual conversations with Hurley
Haywood and Norbert Singer. Hurley
and I shared the track one weekend
at Lime Rock Park in the early 90s,
as I did Formula Ford and he ran the
Audi Quattro with teammate Hans
Stuck. We reminisced for a while and
then fast forwarded to a discussion
about the upcoming release of his
documentary movie. In 1992 I worked
on a project for my Master’s degree,
documenting the effort of Porsche to
enter Indy Car Racing Series in the US
(Project 2708), developing not only
the engine but also their own chassis.
Norbert had responded to my letters
back then and sent me some very
helpful information. This was simply
a chance to say thank you.
In all, Rennsport was a fabulous
experience and wonderful journey.
I can’t wait for the 75th anniversary
celebration to come!
As the name implies,
Carey Spreen
Rennsport (which of course
means “race sport” or simply “racing” in the language
of the Fatherland) focuses on Porsche’s vast racing car
history, with seven different historic race car classes
on track each day, practicing, qualifying, and actually
racing wheel-to-wheel. But the unique part is that you
can get as close as you want to those race cars – they
are on display right there in the paddock,
where you can walk right up and touch
them, although it’s better if you don’t!
But the point is this: one minute your
favorite race car is right in front of you,
a static display of automotive art, and the
next minute it’s being started and driven
onto the racetrack, navigating a sea of
spectators as it winds through the paddock
to the hot pits.
That is the heart of the Rennsport
Reunion experience, and I strongly urge
you to put it on your list of things to do
before you . . . well, before you can’t!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation
By Bill Kruder
photos by Jim Hirsch and Andrew Barber
This month, sadly, I would like to share with you a very special friend we
recently lost. I met him about three and a half years ago at one of our Mavs &
Mochas: we would say hi, talk about the cars, and of course he would wander off
taking hundreds of pictures.
Then a few months later, at the Mavs & Mochas held at Stonebriar Community
Church, we started to talk, and I mentioned that I had retired from JC Penney.
Andrew said, “that’s funny -- my Dad retired from JCP.”
The small world it is, I knew his Dad when I had first come into the Home
Office in Plano in the early ‘90s.
Andrew and I decided to go inside and watch the Grand Prix Pinewood cars race.
Well about an hour later, who walks in but his dad, Don Barber, and we proceed
to get to know one another more
over grilled cheese and fast 7” cars.
Our friendship continued over the
next three years. He was always
there no matter the weather, with
camera in hand, providing us with
some of the most unique angles,
perspectives, and lighting that made
you altogether see our Porsches in
a whole new way. And he didn’t
stop there . . . always capturing
friendships and people too.
While you might not have met
him in person, I’d venture to say
you know him very well through
his camera work, which appeared
on many Slipstream covers, not
to mention countless articles each
month. I, as well as the Club,
consider him instrumental in
driving friendships, and his quiet
spirit and amazing talent will be
greatly missed.
So here is the next in my series
of “conversations”, this one
captured through Andrew’s lens.
His pictures tell all the real story
we need.

Maverick Marktpreis: Boxster (986)
by Peter Wen
Porsche is the most profitable car company in the world
today with 250,000 annual vehicle sales worldwide. It is hard
to imagine 25 years ago that Porsche struggled financially. With
a stagnant product lineup, only 14,000 cars were sold in ‘93! It
desperately needed a low cost, high production model to turn the
company around. Enter the Boxster, the car that saved Porsche.
In ‘96, three years after the highly successful concept car
debut in Detroit, Porsche launched the Boxster: a boxer-engine,
two-seat roadster. Clever name, right? Code-named 986, the
first-gen Boxster was the first Porsche to leverage Toyota’s “justin-time”
manufacturing principle. It drastically reduced cost and
improved reliability. To further reduce expense, the Boxster was
jointly developed alongside the new 911, type 996. The two cars
shared similar looks and had many common parts.
The Boxster was a huge success. With exceptional handling
and unmatched open-top fun, it was the best-selling Porsche from
‘96 to ‘03. Today, you too can enjoy this Miata-inspired, Toyotaprocess-improved,
mid-engine roadster for around ten grand.
Excellence’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide
offered these price ranges for the
Boxster (986):
‘97-‘99 - $8,000-$12,000
‘00-‘02 - $8,500-$13,000
‘00-’02 S - $10,000-$17,000
‘03-‘04 - $10,000-$15,000
‘03-’04 S - $12,000-$18,000
Fun Fact: The Boxster was so popular,
Porsche had to contract Valmet, a
Finnish company, to increase production.
Valmet-assembled Boxsters have
the letter U in the 11th position of the
VIN (for Uusikaupunki, Finland).

on hand to welcome all the guests, to introduce the
mayor of Grapevine, and unveil the 2019 Cayenne.
Great food and beverage vignettes were located
throughout the facility and everyone present thoroughly
enjoyed the evening. The PCA Maverick Region and

to help celebrate this great new Porsche Dealership,

Autocross Event 8: Lone Star Park
By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
With the circus tent gone, the full lot at Lone Star
Park was available this time, and Scott Cummings, the
course designer, set up a very challenging autocross course
with many diverse elements and speed change-ups. This
is typical of the late-season layouts that also make lateseason
class championships points battles so close.
We had 16 Porsche entries in our P-classes and another
eight or nine Porsche spectators. Sigrid Schnoerr got many
of the Porsche spectators to sign waivers and jump in as
passengers in a variety of cars to get a taste of autocross.
I bet they enter an event soon after learning more about
all the excitement.
The Cayenne GTS driven by Igor Tulandin, at his
first autocross with his new toy, placed third in Class P1.
Yes, four-door Porsches have autocross classes and are
competitive out there!
Owen Coulman was determined to be the fastest raw time
and index time Porsche again and put in a couple of flyers in
his red 996 GT3 to keep the rear-engine faithful happy.
Class P4 had six drivers in three cars. The course
workers must have thought we got twice as many runs as
anyone else! Carey Spreen took his 924S to the fight on
this course, splitting Mark and Sigrid’s 914 best times and
also coming in ahead of Ed Mayo’s orange and blue early
911S. Sigrid was running in first place until the last runs
by Mark and Carey.
Scott Wolthuis got a new limited slip in his improved
and Hoosier-tired 911. It made him struggle on the tight
turns but he was flying in the sweeper. Doug Edney won
class P7 in his 996, and Sherry and Steve Farnham’s yellow
GT4 came up from Longhorn region to keep us all on our

Mavs & Mochas: Zims Autotechnik
By Pat Carmichael
Tradition . . . that’s what this month’s Mavs &
Mochas reflected in several aspects. First, Al Zim: his
presence reflects almost five decades of friendship and
service to the Porsche and enthusiast car community.
Second: all the people that brought the almost seven
decades of Porsche models to a time-honored club
event reflected a camaraderie without comparison.
Last but not least: the annual Zims Porsche swap meet,
reflecting what it’s all about. Dozens offering treasures
enthusiasts at all levels, from the technician club racer
to the weekend tinkerer, gathered to enable the eager
(or desperate) to find just what they need. It was good
times for all.
Free coffee from Felix Coffee, good weather, good
people, good conversation, and ample parking made
for a successful event. The volunteers were there bright
and early, all was prepared for a good turnout, and
around fifty cars obliged. Thanks to all who came; we
hope to see you all next month at Pearl Cup Coffee in
Richardson, TX. See y’all then, if not before!!!

Bucket List: Banff
By Wendy Shoffit
Two years ago, when the PCA Treffen committee
announced that Banff would be the destination in fall
2018, James’ eyes got wide! For years he had seen photos
of the area and knew he wanted to go! Then a year ago he
had a stroke and I was unsure if we would make it. First,
HE had to make it and then we’d see. Thankfully, he lived
and I knew I had to do everything to make this bucket list
item happen. So, we bought tickets we needed and made
important hotel reservations. The rest we would fill in as
it came along. The 31-hour drive (one way) was daunting
because James had ALWAYS done ALL the driving (his
choice). He loves to drive! Me, on the other hand . . . not
as much (I get sleepy). I decided to leave plenty of time
and drive each day until I got tired and wanted to stop.
We spent parts of five days getting there (first and last days
were three hours each). Approaching the hotel, we knew
we’d made the right decision! The area was spectacular.
We checked in to the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel,
which looked and felt like a castle. We grabbed a delicious
lunch in their restaurant and later that afternoon went to
the Treffen check-in. Everyone was welcoming, had great
information, and gave us a goodie “bag” complete with
winter vests for each of us. That evening was a meet and
greet with hors d’ouevres. We enjoyed seeing old friends
and meeting new ones. It was a “free night,” so we went
off property with friends to a delicious and very “foodie”
restaurant nearby with stuff like foam and Canola crisp.
Fancy schmancy.
Overnight temperatures dropped, and we awoke
to snow. Bright and early we drove to the nearby tour
launching area. Many were concerned they had the
wrong car and tires for the snow. We were smart to bring
our Macan with All Season tires (thanks to my smart
husband)! After the drivers meeting we set off on an
amazingly beautiful “Yoho Loop” tour while whistling
“It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” We’d planned
to see the beautiful greens of the trees, we found it more
special to see them snow-covered but still drivable. We
saw great sites like the Takkakaw Falls and stopped at
breathtaking Emerald Lake for lunch. We’d tried to view
the spiral tunnels, but the snow was so heavy we couldn’t
see them. We were glad to have the extra vest layer
under jackets, as we were NOT properly prepared for
snow. That night we had a “Hoedown Dinner” featuring
amazing fiddlers from a local group.
Friday we again were up early (why does PCA not want
you to SLEEP?) to go on the Highway 40/Kananaskis (ask
me how to pronounce THAT in person) tour. Again, more
snow, slippery roads, but breathtaking scenery! This tour
we stopped at a local museum and saw (at a distance) a
few black bears. Another great dinner that night featuring
interesting foods from different provinces of Canada.
Saturday was “Navigator’s Day Off,” during which
they had bus tours available. We’d purchased tickets for
one tour, but we were running late that morning and
literally “missed the bus.” Regardless, we went into the
photos provided by the author

content. Fairmont Banff Springs. Wendy and James (center) with some fellow
Treffen friends.
town of Banff and enjoyed walking along main street,
shopping, and eating Beaver Tails (pastry – look it up).
Others who went on the tours truly enjoyed themselves
and were glad they made it! Most tours all weekend
went off without a hitch from what I knew, except for
the Columbia Ice Fields, which were too rough for most
people to attend. Other than that, it was all good!
The final dinner Saturday night was a “Night at the
Castle” and it was great, like the others. The best part of
the evening for me was the presentation by two Canadian
RCMP “Mounties.” While we were skeptical about
being bored, when they started talking, we were quickly
entertained by his stories and explanation of why they
wear those funny shaped pants. Awesome guys and an
amazing time! We were thankful to be there with fellow
Mavericks Jerry and Myra Sutton and Madhu and Roshni
Rao (now living in NYC).
Sunday morning we were sad to leave, but anxious to
get on to the next leg of our trip… Lake Louise and then
to Rennsport Reunion VI in Monterey, CA (a week and a
half later)! Ahhhhh… what a journey.

Renegade Rallye: 2018
By Don Anderson
photos by courtesy author and Peter Wen
As a relatively new Maverick member, I was asked to
provide my perspective of my first drive to the Hill Country.
I had heard many good things about the area, and being new
to Texas, I was thrilled to be invited to go on this adventure.
Ten cars, 1100 miles, four days: it was a blast!
The drive started in Plano, where we gathered part of the
group. We met a few more participants en route in Cleburne,
and a couple more drove down later that evening and met
us at our hotel in Kerrville. The next three days were filled
with spirited driving and great scenery. I thoroughly enjoyed
the cuisine at different establishments along the way and was
grateful to be making new friends.
Like Letterman or ESPN, here’s my top 10 list for the trip:
10. Learning more about my car and the opportunity to use
“sport mode” in a meaningful way.
9. Not leading the pack or having to know where to go.
(Much easier following!)
8. The spirited driving was fun, but we kept it safe and
within our capabilities.
7. While turning onto one of the many fun and twisty roads
that Mark Palmer had selected for us, a sheriff got
interested and inserted himself in the middle of the pack
and followed for far too many miles -- until we pulled off
at a scenic river crossing to take pictures
(without incident).
6. A young boy was mesmerized by all of our cars parked
together at a coffee shop stop and rated each of them (he
liked the one with the big wing best, of course).
5. Peter Wen’s smile when he discovered the LED valve
stem lights that were placed on his tires by the group
without his knowledge.
4. The visit to l’art et l’automobile in Harper, where
automobile memorabilia is sold by Jacques and his
wife, all housed in an amazing barn brimming with rare
and desirable car art.
3. The libations, conversation, and laughs after the drive.
2. Hill Country and its roads and scenery.
1. Making new friends and creating wonderful memories
. . . true Driving Friendships.
Already looking forward to next year!

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
It seems like certain Slipstream issues take on a
common name, the Christmas issue, the Autocross
issue, well, this is probably the Rennsport issue. The
cover photo and the center spread pay tribute to the
event, but also the people that enjoy, attend and yes
enable us to take a week off of work and play race car
driver. We like to say it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
Never was that more evident than before, during and
after my first trip to Rennsport.
I looked at the ads and thought ‘that would be fun to
do someday’. Cue the music and dreamy recap sequence.
Things just began to line up. I was encouraged by fellow
members, connected with tickets for sale, a corral pass,
a group to drive out with. But things like that don’t
just happen magically, it takes people. I’m sorry if this
offends anyone, but car people are the best people. I
know dog people are great and Aggies are generally
very nice unless you happen to mention that you think
Texas has a better team this year, but car people have a
special bond that is a little different. Take for example
a new friend that I met in the Porsche corral at the
event. We started in the usual manner, talking about
our cars and the event, fifteen minutes later I wound
up with an invitation
to take his spot in the
next day’s parade lap
around Laguna Seca
(a boyhood dream) if
I was willing to bring
his boys with me. I
nearly choked trying to
accept. That has never
happened to me at a
PTA meeting.
I’m not a special
case, far from it. A
quick look on the
Maverick Facebook
page will confirm that
our members stand
ready to lend advice,
experience and hands
at a moments notice.
Don’t just ‘Enjoy the
drive!’, enjoy the
friends new and old.
Giants in the mist. A moment I won’t
forget, the 917 warming up on a quiet
morning in the California fog.
